>> norah: good evening, and thank you for joining us on this tuesday night. we want to begin with some breaking news. senior administration officials tell cbs news that the isis leader behind the 2021 suicide bombing at the kabul airport has been killed. 13 u.s. service members died in that terror attack, and 45 others were injured. at least 170 afghans were also killed. the white house did not release the terrorist's name, but described the senior islamic state leader as the mastermind of the assault. it happened at an airport entrance known as abbey gate, where people were gathering, hoping to get out of afghanistan with the help of u.s. troops. the deadly attack occurred during the chaotic withdrawal, and it is considered one of the darkest moments of biden's presidency. cbs's david martin is going to start us off tonight from the pentagon with the new details. >> reporter: a measure of justice for the 13 american servicemen and women killed by a

suicide bomber during the chaotic evacuation of afghanistan. one of the dead was marine staff sergeant taylor hoover. his father just got a call from the marine corps. >> explained to us that the leader of the isis cell that was responsible for the bombing was killed by the taliban. >> reporter: it happened earlier this month in fighting between the taliban and isis. the u.s. found out through its own intelligence sources. >> their sources are highly trusted, and they got it from several different sources that this individual was indeed killed. >> reporter: does it matter to you whether or not it was the taliban that apparently killed him or the united states? >> i don't care who it was that killed him. it's one less terrorist that we have to worry about. >> reporter: does it feel like justice to you?

>> to me, it won't be justice, ever. >> reporter: the bomb carved a path of death and destruction through the crowd, wounding 45 other servicemen and women and killing at least 170 afghan civilians. it sent more than 100 ball bearings into former marine tyler vargas-andrews. >> i opened my eyes to marines dead or unconscious lying around me. >> reporter: pentagon officials say the taliban did not realize they had killed the planner of the bombing and are only finding out they did their bitter enemy the united states a favor. norah? >> norah: david martin at the pentagon, thank you. let's turn now to today's other major story. president joe biden making it official, launching his 2024 reelection campaign, and asking voters to help him "finish the job." cbs's ed o'keefe is at the white house, where the announcement sets up a possible rematch of the 2020 race. >> it is time to finish the job. [applause] [chanting "four more years"] >> reporter: labor union

members in washington today signaled they are on board the 2024 biden campaign. [chanting "let's go joe"] in a video announcing his bid hours earlier, the president leaned on his 2020 campaign theme is saying, again, it is a battle for the soul of america. >> the question we are facing is whether, in the years ahead, we have more freedom or less freedom. >> reporter: mr. biden signaled he will focus on protecting social security, access to abortion services, voting rights, and gay rights. republicans, he said, would do the opposite. >> the maga extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms, cutting social security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. >> reporter: the republican national committee hit back with an ai-generated ad predicting chaos if the president is reelected. >> it feels like the train is coming off the tracks. >> reporter: and his potential opponent, former president donald trump, also weighed in.

>> you could take the five worst presidents in american history and put them together, and they would not have done the damage joe biden has done to our nation. >> reporter: a new cbs news poll shows challenges ahead for mr. biden. a large majority describe the country as out of control, and nearly half of democrats don't want him to run again. they overwhelmingly cite his age as a reason. younger voters in south florida today expressed those concerns. >> well, i just don't think that he's fit enough still to be president. i feel like he is older, and he is getting older. >> i think he's too old. this is a new generation, and i think they are stuck in the old ways. >> reporter: but in washington, union president sean mcgarvey said age shouldn't matter. >> i'll tell you, my father was in the audience today. my father is 85 years old, and my father could whoop my ass -- okay? so i don't worry about it a bit. >> reporter: most national democrats like former

president barack obama reached out to via email and social media urging them to donate to the biden campaign. and another former opponent, senator bernie sanders, said he is on board and will not challenge the standing president. norah? >> norah: always interesting to hear from voters. ed o'keefe, thank you very much. well, tonight, we are learning more about the alleged behind-the-scenes scandals that led fox news to part ways with tucker carlson, its top-rated host and one of most influential voices in conservative politics. cbs's jericka duncan reports on the continued fallout. >> reporter: one day after parting with fox, the cable network's top prime-time host has been silent. a huge contrast, considering his history of incendiary remarks. >> white supremacy, that's the problem? this is a hoax. castrate your children. that is the message. we need to find out exactly what happened in this election. >> reporter: former fox producer abby grossberg, who filed a lawsuit alleging carlson led a misogynistic and discriminatory workplace, described her experience today. >> there are literally pictures

like, this big, of nancy pelosi in a bathing suit, in europe, plastered all over. there was even one on my computer screen for the temporary computer i had to use, and i had to take it down. >> reporter: grossberg, who claims to have 90 recordings from her time working at fox, said the show's january 6th coverage was a turning point, something rupert murdoch cited as a factor for carlson's dismissal, according to the "los angeles times." >> tucker was very set on finding an fbi person who was implanted in the crowd and spinning this conspiracy that they were ultimately the ones responsible for the capitol attack. >> reporter: court documents filed in grossberg's lawsuit also showed text messages that reveal carlson repeatedly called trump lawyer sydney powell a vulgar term. grossberg's allegations likely played a bigger role in carlson's departure than the network's recent $787 million settlement with dominion voting systems, says npr media critic eric deggans. >> those kinds of claims seem to

be something that fox moves very quickly to deal with, as opposed to other types of infractions. >> reporter: and despite grossberg's claims of being bullied, mocked, and even asked to spy on a coworker, she says she wants an apology. but a fox news spokesperson said her case is baseless and riddled with false allegations. norah? >> norah: jericka duncan, thank you. well, tonight, a line of severe weather is moving through the southern plains, with texas in the bull's-eye. for more, let's bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. we are anticipating severe thunderstorms once again across the southern plains right through the evening, in particular oklahoma and texas. likely to be high winds, tornadoes, and hail bigger than ping-pong balls. these are the areas to watch, from west texas back down toward austin, and houston. tomorrow, dallas and fort worth in the mix. large hail once again an issue.

flooding rain across oklahoma, including right in oklahoma city. some of those storms could produce torrential downpours here and some of those storms then move into louisiana, mississippi, and alabama. as we go late in the week, prolonged event of rain brings chances for flooding. that could be true in florida, as well, through the day tomorrow, tampa, orlando, as well as okeechobee, even miami and fort lauderdale at risk again. >> norah: mike bettes, thank you. the man accused of killing cash app cofounder bob lee appeared in a san francisco court today. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports family member of the slain tech executive showed up in force. >> reporter: wearing orange jail attire and a covid mask, tech exec nima momeni appeared before a judge, as his lawyer asked that the arraignment be postponed because she had not received bob lee's autopsy report and other documents. >> there is lot of drugs involved with people other than my client. >> reporter: police have not commented on what unfolded inside san francisco's posh

millennium tower, where momeni's sister lives, and where all three had been leading up to the attack. surveillance video showed momeni and lee leaving the building in a white bmw in the early hours of april 4th. the bmw is then captured driving to a dark and secluded area, where momeni and lee get out of the car. 5 minutes later, momeni appears to suddenly move toward lee, but the images are far away from the camera. >> you can't identify the people in the video. you can't identify, you know, what happens. >> reporter: lee is then seen injured in footage posted by london's "daily mail." momeni allegedly used a 4-inch kitchen knife. >> we have an individual who stabbed mr. lee multiple times, including in his heart. that is about as dangerous as it gets. >> reporter: a witness told investigators the two men had gotten into an argument earlier

over whether momeni's sister had taken drugs. police also recovered a text message sent from her to lee, saying "nima came way down hard on you." and about 20 members of lee's family were in court today. meanwhile, momeni's attorney says he will plead not guilty when he's arraigned on may 2nd, norah. >> norah: jonathan vigliotti, thank you very much. the civil trial of former form present donald trump accusing him of sexual assault and defamation got underway in new york city today. former "elle" magazine columnist e. jean carroll says trump raped her in the dressing room of a bergdorf goodman department store nearly 30 years ago. she says he then defamed her, calling her allegations a hoax, saying "this woman is not my type." trump claims she made up the story to sell her 2019 memoir. turning overseas to the war in sudan, tonight a three-day truce partially brokered by the u.s. is mostly holding, though heavy gunfire was heard today in the capital city of khartoum. u.s. military officials have released two photos showing u.s. ebassy evacuees landing in djibouti over the weekend. one photo shows the u.s. ambassador to sudan being

greeted by the general in charge of u.s. forces there. the other shows two women hugging on the tarmac. now to part 2 of our 8-month investigation into the collapse of hospitals serving some of the nation's most vulnerable communities. cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook found investors are making millions while some patients are left without a place to go for their basic health care needs. >> reporter: when texas vista medical center shuts down on monday, it will leave the majority-hispanic south side of san antonio with only one full-service hospital, 110 beds for nearly half a million people. >> my people, my residents, are one minute away from losing hope. >> reporter: in 2017, the land and buildings of texas vista were sold to a company called medical properties trust, which has bought up the real estate in nearly 200 u.s. hospitals, often in low-income areas. medical properties trust says these deals give hospitals cash to pay for improvements, but after its real estate was sold,

texas vista suddenly had an annual rent of $5 million. this provides free care for 25% of its patients. so, you were not aware of the fact the hospital is paying rent to medical properties trust? >> no, it is just infuriating. that money can be shifted to serve those that really need it. >> reporter: the company denies its rent agreements have caused its hospitals to cut services, but a cbs news investigation found a pattern of supply shortages at 14 hospitals being charged rent by medical properties trust. that includes texas vista, which by earlier this year had missed more than $650,000 in payments to at least a dozen different vendors. for example? >> we provide patients with a noninvasive ventilation device. >> reporter: a breathing mask. uh-huh. >> right. and if i don't have the hose to connect from the machine to the mask, i can't do anything for them.

>> reporter: two years ago, rhode island attorney general peter neronha was able to block a hospital real estate sale. >> so, as a regulator, i could stop it here. >> reporter: he told us last fall authorities around the country need tools like the one he has that allow him to scrutinize these kind of deals. >> laws on the books like that allow us to intervene. >> reporter: without those laws, he told us, it can be hard to follow the money. >> hello. i am ed aldag with medical properties trust. >> reporter: according to sec filings for medical properties trust, from 2017 to 2021, ceo edward aldag's salary, bonuses, and stock awards amounted to a total of about $70 million. >> it felt like it became less about people and more about profits. >> reporter: edward aldag declined an interview. in a statement, medical properties trust said it has no involvement in operational decisions at the facilities it owns, but it did not answer detailed questions, including whether it discussed providing financial assistance to texas vista.

norah? >> norah: dr. lapook, thank you very much. well, tributes are pouring in tonight for "calypso" king and civil rights activist harry belafonte. we will have that later in the broadcast. up next, melting snow prompts a flooding emergency in the midwest. up next, melting snow prompts a flooding emergency in the midwest. my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care. because no matter how healthy you feel,

very ugly revelations about how many of his own officers seem to view the very community they are sworn to protect. 38 of those officers are now on leave after the fbi uncovered pages and pages of racist text exchanges. now chief steven ford worked alongside many of them for months before even seeing those texts for himself. so in an exclusive interview with our katie nielsen, he said his whole career in law enforcement has prepared him to deal with this crisis. katie, joining us live with more of her exclusive interview. katie? >> reporter: juliet, the chief told me he felt blind sided bit text messages. he first found out about the fbi investigation by watching the news. but he didn't find out about the content of the text messages until just a few days before they were released to the public. chief steven ford, a cop for more than three decades, came to antioch with
